POTUS fails the troops

I cannot let this story go. It is so upsetting that it fills me with rage whenever I think about it, which happens to be quite often.

Donald Trump is reported to have branded fallen warriors “suckers” and “losers.” He cannot stand the sight of injured servicemen and women. The Atlantic is reporting these details. Trump denies them.

Fine. He can deny them all he wants. I happen to believe the reporting, which I find credible and thoroughly sourced.

We know he has said publicly that the late Sen. John McCain, a former Vietnam War prisoner, was “a hero only because he was captured.”

Let’s couple this with reports that Trump has yet to challenge Russian strongman Vladimir Putin over reports that Russian spooks paid bounties to Taliban terrorists for Americans killed in battle.

Is there a pattern here?

The idea that Donald Trump would refer to fallen U.S. warriors as “losers” is abhorrent on its face. Then I couple that with reports of bounties being placed on the men and women he sends into harm’s way and his failure to act on those allegations.

Both elements are infuriating to a maximum degree. They also seem so very believable.

Think about the commander in chief talking as he reportedly has done about those who have fallen in battle. Think, too, about a commander in chief who wouldn’t demand a full explanation from the leader of a hostile power about an allegation that he has paid terrorists a bounty for killing our battlefield heroes.

Despicable, yes? It is … and much more. This individual took an oath to protect us against our enemies. That most certainly applies to the men and women who stand as our front line of defense against enemy soldiers. Donald Trump has failed to fulfill his sacred oath.

There can be no doubt in anyone’s mind — certainly not in my own mind — that Donald Trump is unfit to serve.
